@Leroy Peterson, can you give us some more info? Where did you find this? it looks to be in amazing condition. 
Are you into English cars or did this just peak your interest this time? I'd love to hear the background to this.

Leroy! My god! That's gonna hurt... I hope you are good with electrics! did you get a warranty? (jk).

I bet he's shopping for that warranty before attempting to do anything to it :P

I've decided to keep track of the build here: http://www.zeitakuvip.com/forum/member-s-rides/non-vip-builds/22023-triumph-tr7

After the whole Photobucket fiasco, i dont really want to be posting on multiple forums again... except some odd updates on the pulsar on SAU. All the detail is on PGA.

Everyone carrying on about rust has me real worried about the car. like how do you wash a car that rusts easily? cant use water lol. It also will be sitting outside for a week or two which has me concerned... ill buy a cover for it I think

Thanks for putting that link up. I'll be lurking in the background (like always!).

Yeah dolomite sprint. Think it needs a lot of work. Might have been a parts car.

Doesn't look too rusty on the surface.

Once you dig deeper...

I'm tempted to look at it haha

Whoa, I'm seeing double! 

Haha, one is silver, one is white. Also one is knackered (gearbox issues) and one is in mint condition...

Gearbox issues, is it under warranty? 

Silver one is knackered. It has just become my daily, i've had it for two years and it has served me well so far. It's certainly not under any kind of warranty.
The gearbox had a it of a meltdown about 3 or 4 months ago and was flaring and carrying on. I ignored it (like you do) and then finally at the service mentioned it was "a bit rough". They recommended a new gearbox for 10k. I declined and we looked at the new models, but none of them were my thing. In the end, we came back to the same model, only this one has been well kept, well serviced and has every conceivable option these things came with. 
If the gearbox does go, it will be a project for my friends and I to change it over and see if we can reprogram the car. Surprisingly it has been very well behaved since the initial problems, but i'm pretty much expecting it to stop moving the back wheels at any stage now. When it does, bring on the spanners... :)

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
